? about MRI report

I am reading the radiologist report of my last MRI on 2/20/2008.  The report reads, Multiple small focal areas of increased T2 signal are present in the deep white matter about the ventricles.  These foci of increased signal appear slightly larger and lightly more numerous currently than on the 3 November 2004 examination.

The Conclusion:
Oval small T2 hyperintesities in the deep white matter as described above.  The findings are consistent with MS in the apporpriate clinical setting.


My question is.....is this the same thing as Peri-ventricular signals?
